I wasn't sure what I would think once installed, but the moment I opened the door I went WHOA! They are that good..and that was during bright daylight. Fairly certain I went out to the garage 6 times last night to open the driver's door before going to bed
Only 2.25 hours! That’s a steal! Congrats!!

Beautiful door sills seem like a silly idea at first glance because doors are closed most of the time so you don’t see them so often but actually, I think that you do notice them when opening the doors.

Amazingly wonderfully beautifully jaw dropping! ❤️❤️❤️
You must post more pics!

Why GT3 wheels in rear and GT3 RS wheels in front if you don’t mind me asking?

Will do. I did the "Frankenstein" setup because gt3 fronts would of sat too far in compared to gt3rs which stick out more (different offset). Also, gt3 in rear pretty much sit perfectly and are 20 inch. Being awd i wanted to keep same aspect ratio so the diff doesn't burn out and also gt3rs rears would of stuck too far out past the rear fender (believe me I tried). I'm very happy how it turned out.

While I really wanted GT3 wheels on my .2GTS, I didn't move forward due to front wheel offset but somebody recommended GT3 RS front and GT3 rear for perfect setup and I thought, oh yeah, in my dreams.. but you actually did it. Looks great. I hope it was somewhat reasonable price for those setup. Congrats!

Forgot to mention that also spring for a set of 3pc fitted luggage from Roadtrip for the frunk.
Man do these bags hold a lot!! One of my more practical investments in this car.

local dealer was quoted me 6 hours. I'll def. spend 2.25 hours for labor, it's so worth it for amount of annoying work to install those wires! and yes, def need PPF over them since they tend to get scratched a lot.

Don't think it is 6 hours if they know what they are doing, which a Porsche dealership should. Mine quoted/charged me 2.25 hours but I think in the end it took them about 3.25 hours. With speaking to another gold certified tech he said should be 3 hour job.

Correct. The .1’s don’t come with CarPlay.
